It's the pitman arm thats needed for the crossover steering conversion. I can get these in mass quantity and if enough people want one here for their crossover steering conversion, I'd grab them and sell them.

I'm asking for $30 each + shipping. Depending on where you live, shipping should be no more than $5-$10. They will come painted black. These are direct bolt ons to the 2wd GM Steering box and already are tapered to fit GM Rod Ends.

Those who want to purchase a pitman arm can send an email to pitmans@rockreadyk5.com
Include your name and address. We will reply with the shipping price ($5-$10) and the address of where to send the money order to. Sorry, no checks at this time.
We aren't starting a business, just selling off a crap load of parts we've collected over the years.

This pitman comes off a Ford. There are 2 Ford versions of pitman arms. This is the beefier of the 2. These are all obtained from the boneyard, cleaned, and painted for your pleasure.

It has a tre on it... sort of.

I used a pitman from a late 70's/early 80's dodge 4x4. it is a little shorter, and provides a bit more leverage for the power steering box.

I'm not sure what coversion your talking about, but for my s-10 I used a cherokee arm that has a little drop in it but it's still factory. Works perfect. I used a factory D30 axle that had already been converted to high steer.

I asked the same question to steve a while back, this is the answer.

For the High steer you need to turn the pitman arm 90 degrees.

the chevy ones can not be turned the proper amount.
